Nah mate, the people who need their heads looking at are the ones who constantly attack him but at the same time expect him to do their bidding while, also at the same time, refer to people who don't agree with their twisted philosophy as his disciples.
The bit that I like best is the cranks that make up the theory that he takes a wage.
Fancy taking a wage from a company that you own. Whoever would think of doing that.
I suggested that scenario to my window cleaner. I got a very colourful reply.

He takes management fees from the club which were £37,500 when we were in the national league but shot up to £150,000 when we got back into league 2. It's in the accounts in plain text, very easy to find.

They've got the same contractor as last year back in, believe it's just more of the same, a reseed and scarify.

Yeah I know he does, I was taking the piss out of the cranks who look on that with abhorrence. I've sent myself to the naughty corner.

Doesn't say who the management fees went to does it?

And some off them will be a 15 minutes walk from where they bought it.
Drinking cold Coffee.
The stupid bastads don't impress us.

So couple of questions…
Did that 150 revert back to 37.5 when we were relegated ?
Anyone think he provided 150k worth of value the way he ran the team in the league ??

We will pass over that because raj the great one can do no wrong, until he leaves then we will have well i wanted him gone all along.

Kindly stop trying to think for other people, there are a number of opinions and options on the running of this club, preaching to those who don’t fall into line with your line of discontent won’t make things any better…try going for unifying opinion not saying I told you do when he goes.

The same can go both ways.

To the Prestige Group, who's sole owner is...?
I would much prefer the owner of the club didn't take money out of it to pay himself, especially when they want all of their investment into the club back and the management fees don't reduce the amount owed to him. But hey I guess I'm in the minority who would prefer the management fees to be spent on a CEO or another wage or 2 for the playing side, or improvements to the PA system etc. etc.

Take it up with our fans rep…yeh right !

From whats been stated., He,ll now be taking much less having taken a backward step.
Good for Raj, Now thats a piss take.

Be interesting to see the numbers on the next set of accounts…

Management fees aren’t new at Pools. We paid IOR a million a season which is where the Ken Hodcroft nonsense claims came from.

I agree

How did we pay them a million a season?! I thought they wrote off a million a season as a ‘marketing budget’.
Not for a second saying you’re wrong but how so pls!?

IOR used Pools for tax avoidance, Pools were registered in the Virgin Islands which I assume means they never paid tax ?

Now we’re just virgin on the ridiculous…. ….couldn’t resist it.

Oh Dear

Not sure if your taking the p*** Snowy but have a look at Hodcroft interview on Switch of Play before making any snidely comments like you have a habit of doing when replying to my posts,I have provided the link for you,

I was sarcastically referring to the way some things are done at the club, but if you want ‘snidely comments’ just let me know and I’ll oblige free of charge.
Happy to help.

Jamie worked with a few Chairmen, Some poor, Some Very well off probably more than Raj.
One thing they have in Common, Whats said in Public is not whats said behind closed doors.

The first rule of management in general.

I think that was something else more to do with bankrolling Pools.

This fees thing, well I think it has happened before and it coincided with not such a good time for the club.

We don't know what the fee is for, could be for using shared services within the greater Prestige Group for all we know. It's not uncommon for linked businesses to share some administration functions.
Had a look at Prestige Group accounts and they made a loss and the Director took no renumeration.
All smoke and mirrors, well never know what comes in and goes out, nor who to or from.

Making a loss by issuing big bonuses to yourself helps to keep corporation tax down. Could be that or he’s just not very good at business.

The big bonus would appear as renumeration.
I'm pretty sure he's good at business, not necessarily football though, as I said smoke and mirrors.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek… clearly he’s made money!

Whats renumeration? You mean remuneration?

Could be smoke and mirrors or a bad omen, dunno.

thats true, so why do fans get all excited when they announce stuff to us and believe every word they say. same with managers and the crap all new players come out with in their first interview.

You know some of it is to promote, I,ve had me bubble burst so much, I now wait and see.

In all seriousness …what do you expect them to say…..?
They ain’t gonna turn up and say…”God knows why I signed for this awful club, but beggars can’t be choosers…. I suppose I can sort something out….I’ll give it a go though and see what turns up..ah well.”

Social media for clubs our size is genuinely awful and I think pisses fans off more than it helps

Bigging up a 1–1 away to shitsville like we have won the league and radio silence when we get piped at home 3-0


When I see a post titled ‘callum Cooke doing Callum Cooke things’ I’m always surprised it’s not him being hustled out of possession then getting a yellow card for blaming the ref’
Maybe the kids enjoy it but for me it’s all so shallow

I never read or watch tosh like that, you’ll be disappointed, but it appeals to some.

yes and the some will believe everything they here nowadays especially if its on a social media platform or some club statement.

true, but its so scripted with one more or less coming out with the same shite as the one before. asking different questions to different players might help a bit.
